Caring For Your Brewer

K-Cup® Pod Holder

To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from

the brewer, lift the handle and grasp the

top of the K-Cup® pod holder with one

hand while pushing up on the bottom of

the K-Cup® pod holder from underneath

with the other until it releases. After

cleaning, align the K-Cup® pod holder

with the opening using the two front

ribs as a guide and snap into place from

the top.

CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod holder and in the

bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® pod holder.

NOTE: Always remove and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod after brewing.

Funnel

Washing the funnel ensures a fresh

beverage experience. The funnel

should be washed regularly and can be

removed from the K-Cup® pod holder by

pulling on it until it pops off. To replace

it, orient the snaps to the indent and

just snap it back onto the K-Cup® pod

holder.

Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always be sure to turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.

Water Reservoir & Reservoir Lid

The water reservoir lid and water reservoir

should be cleaned periodically. Clean in

a dishwasher (top rack only) or hand

wash. To hand wash, use a damp, soapy,

non-abrasive cloth. Rinse the reservoir

thoroughly after cleaning. This will ensure

that no cleaning solutions remain in the

area as they may contaminate the water

supply. After rinsing, fill the reservoir with

clean water and return it to the brewer. Do

not dry the inside of the water reservoir

with a cloth as lint may remain. If needed,

repeat above procedures.

NOTE: If you are using a water filter inside the water reservoir, remove it

before cleaning.

Frother

Clean immediately after each use and before

first use.

To clean - frother and frother lid are top rack

dishwasher safe. After use, wait until the

frother has cooled then rinse before placing

in the top rack of the dishwasher, or cool

and hand wash immediately. Whisk should

be placed in the utensil basket of your

dishwasher. If washing by hand, only use

non-abrasive cleaning materials to prevent

damage to the inner surface of the frother.

To hand wash the whisk, soak in warm, soapy

water for 15 minutes then scrub with a soft

bristled brush. Dry thoroughly, and then

reassemble for next use.

Drip Tray

The drip tray can hold up to 8 ounces

of overflow and should be emptied and

cleaned occasionally. To remove, slide it

toward you, keeping it level to avoid spilling.

Clean in dishwasher (top rack only) or rinse

and clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free,

non-abrasive cloth.

Exit Needle

Remove the pod holder assembly and

detach the funnel. Locate the exit

needle on the inside bottom of the

K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a straightened

paper clip into the exit needle to loosen

any coffee grounds.

Entrance Needle

Lift the brewer handle and locate the entrance needle on

the underside of the lid. To clean both holes in the needle,

hold the brewer handle in the upward position and with

your other hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip

into both holes. Gently move it around to loosen any coffee

grounds. Lower the handle completely and run two water-

only brew cycles. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.

TIP: Refer to support.keurig.com for video instructions on cleaning the entrance/exit needles.

Brewer Exterior

Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its best

by cleaning the exterior from time to time.

Just clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free,

non-abrasive cloth. Never immerse the

brewer in water or other liquids.

Troubleshooting

You should descale your brewer every 3-6 months. Properly

follow the descaling procedure.

Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium

deposits or scale may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-

toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance.

Regularly descaling your brewer every 3-6 months helps

maintain the heating element, and other internal parts that

come in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build up

faster, making it necessary to descale more often.

Descaling Procedure

Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh

water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink.

Do not use a paper cup. Ensure that there is no beverage

pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. Please allow approximately

45 minutes for the descaling procedure.

Empty the water from the water reservoir. If using a Keurig®

Water Filter, remove and set aside.

STEP 1: Cleansing Rinse

Press the power button to power the brewer off.

Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into

an emptied water reservoir. Then fill the empty bottle with

water and pour into the water reservoir. Press the power

button to turn the brewer back on.

Place a large mug on the drip tray and run a rinsing brew by lifting

and lowering the handle, select the largest brew size, then press

the brew button.

STEP 2: Internal Tank Soak

Repeat the rinsing brew process until the add water light is

illuminated. Do not use a K-Cup® pod. Let brewer stand for

at least 30 minutes while still on.

After 30 minutes, discard any residual solution from the

water reservoir and rinse thoroughly.

STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse

Fill the water reservoir with fresh water to and not beyond

the MAX fill line.

Place a large mug on the drip tray plate and run a rinsing

brew using the largest brew size. Do not use a K-Cup® pod.

Pour the contents of the mug into the sink.

Repeat brew process until you have completed at least 12

rinsing brews using the largest brew size. You may need to

refill the water reservoir at least one time during this process.

NOTE: The cleaning action of Keurig® Descaling Solution may result in a “foam” dispensed from the brewer. This

is natural, as the solution is reacting with the scale inside. For a brewer that is heavily scaled, the brewer may not

fill properly after the descaler is added. If this occurs, you may see only a small or no output dispensed, followed

by the sound of air blowing out. If this occurs:

• Turn off and unplug the brewer.

• If there is Keurig® Descaling Solution in the water reservoir, discard the contents, rinse the water reservoir

thoroughly and refill with water.

• Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle. The brewer should begin to

function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to sit

unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.

Descaling Your Brewer

Frother

• If the milk you are using isn’t frothing, please call Customer

Service.

• If the light on the frother base is pulsing in and out - it may

be because you are trying to froth while brewing coffee.

Once the brew cycle is complete, the frother will automatically

start frothing.

• If all lights on the frother base are flashing, check to make

sure there is milk in the frother, the whisk is correctly placed

in the frother, and the frother is properly seated on the base

Grounds in Your Coffee

Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles

and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or similar

tool.

• Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder. Refer to the

Exit Needle care instructions.

• Clean the brewer entrance needle. Refer to the Entrance

Needle care instructions.

Brewer Will Not Brew

• After placing the K-Cup® pod in the K-Cup® pod holder, make

sure that the handle is pushed down securely and the brew

buttons are flashing.

• If the add water light is illuminated, add water to water

reservoir. Fill to and not beyond the MAX fill line. Make sure

the water reservoir is seated properly in its base. If the add

water light continues to be illuminated even after refilling,

contact Customer Service.

• If frother is in use, you may not be able to brew coffee at

the same time. If this happens, wait 30 seconds after the

frother has finished frothing then try brewing again. If you

still cannot brew, contact Customer Service.

Brewing a Partial Cup

• The exit needle may be clogged. Refer to the Exit Needle care

instructions.

• The water reservoir may have been removed during brewing.

Replace the water reservoir and perform a rinsing brew

without a K-Cup® pod.

• The brewer may need to be descaled. If you have repeated

the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is still

only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service.

Brewer Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off

• Make sure that the power button has been turned on.

• Plug brewer into its own grounded outlet. If the electric

circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your brewer may

not function properly. The brewer should be operated on its

own circuit, separate from other appliances.

• Auto Off sets the brewer to turn off 2 hours after the last

brew for energy savings. Refer to Brewer Features for

instructions on enabling and disabling this feature.

• If the brewer still doesn’t have power, contact

Customer Service.

LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY

Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) warrants that your brewer will

be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal home

use for one year from the date of purchase. It is recommended

that you register your brewer on keurig.com/new so that your

purchase information will be stored in our system. Keurig will, at its

option, repair or replace a defective brewer without charge upon its

receipt of proof of the date of purchase. If a replacement brewer is

necessary to service this warranty, the replacement brewer may be

new or reconditioned. If a replacement brewer is sent, a new limited

one year warranty will be applied to the replacement brewer.

This warranty only applies to brewers operated in the United States

and Canada. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you

may also have other rights that vary from state to state and, in the

case of Canada, from province to province.

Only the use of Keurig® K-Cup® brand pods and accessories will

guarantee the proper functioning and lifetime of your Keurig®

brewer. Any damage to or malfunction of your brewer resulting

from the use of non-Keurig® pods and accessories may not be

covered by this warranty or may result in a service fee if the damage

or malfunction is determined to be caused by such use.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY?

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL OR

INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SUCH AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND

DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES

RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, EVEN IF

FORESEEABLE. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion

or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above

limitation or exclusion may not apply to you depending on the state

or province of purchase.

Nor does this warranty cover damages caused by use of non-Keurig®

pods or accessories, services performed by anyone other than

Keurig or its authorized service providers, use of parts other than

genuine Keurig® parts, or external causes such as abuse, misuse,

inappropriate power supply, or acts of God.

OTHER LIMITATIONS

THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY

OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL.

IN ADDITION, KEURIG HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS

ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR

KEURIG® BREWER, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY

OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR

PURPOSE. Some states or provinces do not allow disclaimers

of such implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied

warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you

depending on the state or the province of purchase.

HOW DO YOU OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?

Keurig® brewers are high-quality appliances and, with proper care,

are intended to provide years of satisfying performance. However,

should the need arise for warranty servicing, simply call Keurig

Customer Service at our toll free phone number 1.866.901.BREW

(2739). Please do not return your brewer for servicing without first

speaking to Keurig Customer Service to obtain a Return Materials

Authorization (RMA) number. Keurig® brewers returned without a

Helpful Hints

Water quality varies greatly. If you notice an undesirable

taste in your beverage (such as chlorine or mineral tastes),

we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Do not use

distilled water. You can also install a Keurig® Water Filter to

help remove water impurities and improve beverage taste.

Service

Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance

procedures, this brewer is not user serviceable. For service,

please refer to the Warranty section of this guide.

Storage

Empty the water reservoir before storing or transporting and

take care to ensure that you store your brewer in a safe and

frost free environment. Please be sure to store your brewer

in its upright position to avoid water leakage from the inner

tank. If you store the brewer in a cold environment, you run

the risk of water freezing inside the brewer and causing

damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we

recommend cleaning the water reservoir with soap and fresh

water and descaling the brewer as detailed in the section above.

If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn

the brewer off, unplug it, and empty the water reservoir.

If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing,

please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for at

least 2 hours before using.
